Rendering is the creation of the frames of a movie from a composition. The rendering of a frame is the creation of a composited two-dimensional image from all the layers, settings, and other information in a composition that makes up the model for that image.

The rendering of a movie is the frame-by-frame rendering of each of the frames that make up the movie. For more information on how each frame is rendered, see Render order and collapsing transformations.

It is common to speak of rendering as if this term only applies to final output. However, the processes of creating previews for the Footage, Layer, and Composition panels are also kinds of rendering. In fact, it is possible to save a preview as a movie and use that as your final output. See Preview video and audio. After a composition is rendered for final output, it is processed by one or more output modules that encode the rendered frames into one or more output files.

This process of encoding rendered frames into files for output is one kind of exporting. After Effects provides various rendering options that help you accelerate the rendering process.

GPU acceleration offers better speed and precision in rendering your effects. Note : GPU-accelerated effects may render with small color precision differences in an 8-bpc project when compared to CPU-only rendering. Set the project to bpc or bpc for accurate results. After you have completed a composition, you can output a movie file. There are two different methods of outputting a movie file.

Choose the one based on your needs. You need a high-quality movie with or without an alpha channel or image sequence that will be placed in a Premiere Pro sequence, or used in another video editing, compositing, or 3D graphics application. To create a high-quality movie file, render it with the Render Queue. See Render and export with the Render Queue panel.

See The Adobe Media Encoder. The project information is saved without rendering. In general, data transferred through Dynamic Link is not rendered. A movie can be made into a single output file that contains all the rendered frames, or it can be made into a sequence of still images as you would do when creating output for a film recorder. To generate output, you can either render your compositions using the After Effects render queue or add your compositions to the Adobe Media Encoder queue with the render settings that you have chosen in the Render Queue panel.

When you manage render and export operations with the Render Queue panel, the embedded version of the Adobe Media Encoder is called automatically. The Adobe Media Encoder appears only in the form of the export settings dialog boxes with which you specify some encoding and output settings. See Encoding and compression options for movies. The embedded version of the Adobe Media Encoder used to manage export settings within After Effects output modules does not provide all the features of the full, stand-alone Adobe Media Encoder application.

The primary way of rendering and exporting movies from After Effects is through the Render Queue panel. When you place a composition into the Render Queue panel, it becomes a render item. You can add many render items to the render queue, and After Effects can render multiple items in a batch, unattended. When you click the Render button in the upper-right corner of the Render Queue panel, all items with the status of Queued are rendered and output in the order in which they are listed in the Render Queue panel.

You do not need to render a movie multiple times to export it to multiple formats with the same render settings. You can export multiple versions of the same rendered movie by adding output modules to a render item in the Render Queue panel. When working with multiple render items, it is often useful to add comments in the Comment column in the Render Queue panel.

In the Render Queue panel, you can manage several render items at once, each with its own render settings and output module settings. Output module settings—which are applied after render settings—determine post-rendering characteristics such as the following:. Using the Render Queue panel, you can render the same composition to different formats or with different settings, all with one click of the Render button, for example:. You can output to a sequence of still images, such as a Cineon sequence, which you can then transfer to film for cinema projection.

You can output using lossless compression or no compression to a QuickTime container for transfer to a non-linear editing NLE system for video editing. You can select, duplicate, and reorder render items using many of the same keyboard shortcuts that you use for working with layers and other items. See General keyboard shortcuts. To transfer the output rendered from After Effects to film or video, you must have the proper hardware for film or video transfer, or have access to a service bureau that can provide transfer services.

To create a composition from a footage item and immediately add that composition to the render queue, drag the footage item from the Project panel to the Render Queue panel. It is a convenient way to convert a footage item from one format to another. Click the triangle next to Output To in the Render Queue panel to choose a name for the output file based on a naming convention, and then choose a location; or click the text next to the Output To setting to enter any name.

See Specify filenames and locations for rendered output. Click the triangle to the right of Render Settings to choose a render settings template, or click the underlined text to the right of the Render Settings to customize the settings. See Render settings. When a log file has been written, the path to the log file appears under the Render Settings heading and Log menu.

Click the triangle to the right of the Output Module to choose an output module settings template, or click the underlined text to the right of Output Module to customize the settings. You use the output module settings to specify the file format of the output movie. In some cases, a format-specific dialog box opens after you choose a format, in which you can choose format-specific settings.

If you have new preferences as opposed to upgraded or imported preferences, the output module default is set to High Quality. See Output modules and output module settings and Encoding and compression options for movies. When an output name and location have been set, and render settings and an output module have been selected, the entry in the Render column automatically becomes selected shown by a check mark and the status changes to Queued.

The status Queued means that the render item is in the render queue. Press Caps Lock before you start rendering to prevent the Composition panel from displaying rendered frames. By not updating the Composition panel, After Effects requires less time to process simple render items with many frames.

To fasten the process, use Multi-Frame Rendering. See this tutorial to learn how to use the render queue to export files. When rendering of a render item is complete, it remains in the Render Queue panel with its status changed to Done until you remove the item from the Render Queue panel.

You cannot rerender a completed item, but you can duplicate it to create a new item in the queue with the same settings or with new settings.

After an item has been rendered, you can import the finished movie as a footage item by dragging its output module from the Render Queue panel into the Project panel. See Import footage items. The dynamic Current Render bar represents memory usage – bright green is frames currently rendering, blue is frames written to disk, and dark green in between is frames that have been rendered but not written to disk. The render item is listed in the Render Queue panel but is not ready to render.

Confirm that you have selected the desired render settings and output module settings, and then select the Render option to queue the render item. Needs Output. An output filename has not been specified. Choose a value from the Output To menu, or click the underlined Not Yet Specified text next to the Output To heading to specify a filename and path.

After Effects was unsuccessful in rendering the render item. Use a text editor to view the log file for specific information on why the rendering was unsuccessful.

User Stopped. If the disk to which an output module is writing runs out of space, After Effects pauses the render operation. You can clear additional disk space and then resume rendering and exporting. The render item for which rendering was stopped is assigned the status User Stopped, and a new item with the status of Queued is added to the Render Queue panel. The new item uses the same output filename and has the same duration as the original render item.

The render item for which rendering was stopped is assigned the status User Stopped, and a new item with the status of Unqueued is added to the Render Queue panel. The new item uses an incremented output filename and resumes rendering at the before frame at which rendering was stopped—so the first frame of the new item is the last successfully rendered frame of the stopped item. Basic information about the current batch of renders is shown at the bottom of the Render Queue panel:.

To view more information about the current render operation, click the triangle to the left of the Current Render heading. The Current Render pane collapses closes after a short time. To view details of a completed render, review the log file. A chime plays when all items in the render queue have been rendered and exported; a different sound plays if a render operation fails.

The sounds folder is in the following location:. After Effects can send you remote notifications after the rendering process is complete, eliminating the need to wait at your machine to know when the files are ready. Notifications are sent to your Creative Cloud mobile desktop app, your mobile device with the linked Creative Cloud app installed, along with your smart watch linked with your mobile.

You can also export After Effects compositions directly into Adobe Media Encoder, which offers the flexibility to continue working in After Effects while files are being processed.

To fasten the process, use Mutli-Frame Rendering. When you use Adobe Media Encoder, you can also use additional presets and options that are not available in the After Effects Render Queue. You can add your composition to the Adobe Media Encoder Queue using one of the following methods:. The output module settings, such as format settings or color channel selection, are not transferred to Adobe Media Encoder when you choose the Queue in AME option.

The output filename and location are transferred, however, Adobe Media Encoder does not use the filename and location templates, which may result in image sequence numbering mismatch. The Import After Effects Composition dialog box opens. Choose the composition you want to encode. Encode the file as you normally would by choosing presets and an output location in Adobe Media Encoder. After Effects provides various formats and compression options for output.

See this article for current information about known issues. The intent of this preference is to avoid playing stuttered audio in known cases when the preview frame rate will not be real-time, for example during the first pass of a preview while frames are rendered and cached. But because several bugs remain present, After Effects CC that cause the preview frame rate to slow down during user interaction, even when the preview is playing back cached frames, Adobe decided that hearing some audio is better than the audio dropping out.

We will continue work on these bugs for a future update. After Effects CC Color Finesse 3. Legal Notices Online Privacy Policy. Buy now. Bug fixes in After Effects CC When the Warp Stabilizer VFX and 3D Camera Tracker effects were present anywhere in the project, they caused After Effects to become unresponsive to keyboard and mouse input during frame renders.

Fixed several audio-related issues: Audio now starts immediately during previews. Stopping an audio preview returns the current-time indicator CTI to the previous position, as it did in previous versions of After Effects. Scrubbing audio slowly now has a delay before beginning a loop around the CTI. Auto-trace has been rewritten to address problems with the new threading architecture.

The z-axis handle on 3D layers works as expected. Changes to Camera Raw settings apply to the footage as expected and without causing Photoshop File Format errors. MXF files from Sony cameras again import as expected.

In addition to the above, several other bugs have been fixed: Copying a Layer Control expression control effect from one layer to another no longer causes After Effects to crash.
